Biography

Joseph Crackles was born in Yorkshire, England.

Joseph was born in about 1845. He was the son of Joseph Crackles and Elizabeth (Thorpe) Crackles. ^[1]

Joseph lived with his family in Reedness in 1851, ^[2] and in Swinefleet in 1861, where his father Joseph worked as a Farm labourer. ^[3] By 1871 he had left home and is now in Eastoft Road Luddington, working as an Agricultural Servant in the household of Charles Stones, who is a Farm Bailiff on a Farm of 208 acres. ^[4]

On 1 July 1873 he married Ann Epson ^[5] at St Oswald, Luddington. Ann was born in Luddington and was the daughter of Thomas Empson and Jane (Theaker) Empson. ^[6]

After they married they lived in Eastoft where their first two children were born, and then moved to Whitgift before 1881 ^[7] where Joseph was working as a Farm Bailiff. By 1891 they had moved to High Street, Swinefleet. Joseph was working as a Farm labourer, ^[8] but in 1901 ^[9] and 1911 ^[10] he was working as a labourer on the Docks. They have noted that they have now been married 37 years, had 10 children and 4 have died. Jane Elizabeth, Bertha Empson, Bertha Empson, and Loorna all died in infancy.
